About

Provided by Harneys

Harneys’ highly skilled investment funds team has earned the trust of significant clients across the world while working on complex, ground-breaking transactions. We have built a reputation for delivering top-quality advice in a timely, transparent manner while minimising legal costs in Cayman. 


Our investment fund lawyers work with managers of offshore hedge funds and private equity funds to help them establish and structure their offshore investment vehicles to best meet their strategies and investors’ requirements. Our client base includes hedge fund managers, leading international law firms, major financial institutions and corporates. We have recently assisted organisations such as UBP, Atlantic Security Bank, BNP Paribas Brazil, Moneda, Opportunity, Deutsche Bank, Banco Bradesco and China River.


Harneys’ size, collegiate atmosphere and flexible teams allow us to work across departments and offices. We do the work in the location that is most suitable to the client, and are able to provide time zone and language-appropriate service to clients around the world. This commitment to each of our clients is reflected in a number of multi-billion dollar investment managers choosing to switch legal advisers to Harneys.
